Wang Qinchen didn't know that in history, Song Huizong also deposed Cai Jing under the joint impeachment of hundreds of officials, but not long after, the art emperor went to find his bosom friend again, and the removal of Cai Jing exhausted the opposition, and Cai Jing, who returned to power, was even more vicious, and the voice of the Great Song disappeared from there......

However, Wang Qinchen understood Zhao Xing's surname, and as a minister, he was powerless to resist the imperial power. Since this is the case, throw the imperial power out as a meat and bone, and let a few hungry dogs snatch it.

In this respect, no matter which clan is supported as a prisoner, the prisoner who covets the throne wants to curry favor with the ministers and look for the mistakes of the current emperor so that he can gain more power or ascend to the throne. And the emperor in order to keep the throne...... This is China's age-old strategy of division.

Wang Qinchen nodded slightly, indicating that he understood: "But this matter still needs to be discussed with Zhang Shangying and Han Zhongyan, and we should be cautious this time...... It's a pity that there is no respected queen mother in the palace, otherwise, many things don't have to be like this......"

Zhao Xing suddenly asked again: "After the first emperor (Zhezong) abolished Empress Meng lived in Suzhou, and now it has been determined that the first emperor acted in the wrong way, why don't you welcome Empress Meng into the palace and establish herself as the queen mother, how about it?" ”

Wang Qinchen clapped his hands: "Wonderful! Empress Meng was born in Jiangmen, and she returned to the palace to preside over the affairs of the inner palace, which can prevent demons from running rampant in the palace......"

Wang Qinchen's speech stopped abruptly, because a sentence he often said in the Great Song Dynasty was: Zhao Liren, the first demon in the world. The Xianggong sitting in front of him is the first demon of the Great Song Dynasty, and he seems a little disrespectful to talk about demons in front of demons.

"I'm talking about Taoist priests, I'm referring to eunuchs such as Liang Shicheng," Wang Qinchen explained.

At this time. Downstairs, Yizhang Qing had already walked through the small building where Zhao Xing was located. She seemed to be in a hurry, her steps quickened, and the pause in the middle was much shorter, Zhao Xing stared at the beautiful back, sighed, at this time, there was a sound of stairs, Hou Meng poked his head out from downstairs, he looked at Wang Qinchen, and hurriedly gave his hand: "Wang Jingzhao is here." Fortunately, I will be glad to meet you! ”

After greetings in the officialdom, Hou Meng asked about the other party's intentions, Wang Qinchen did not hide it, and said it 1510, and then told Hou Meng cordially: "Brother Hou, Han Zhongyan wants you to go to Jingxi Road, it is estimated that Brother Hou is going to be promoted, a government and a state are always indispensable, and I wish Brother Hou to rise step by step." ”

Hou Meng arrived at Jingxi Road, which means that he is likely to have jurisdiction over Liangshanbo. In this way, if the Liangshanbo bandit Song Jiang really ran rampant in Shandong. Hou Meng's historical trajectory coincides with the original history again.

Zhao Xing frowned. Carefully recall the time of the "uprising" in Liangshanbo bandits. Seem. During the Chongning period, it was the time when the robber and bully Chao Gai fled to Liangshan Bodi. Entrenched in Liangshan, Xiucai Wang Lun was cornered when he was chased by officers and soldiers in Chaogai. "Narrow-minded" will Chao Gai cover a group of people, relying on the strength of the crowd and the time when the crowd does not listen to the dispatch. Wang Lun was "jealous of the virtuous" and gave Chao Gai gold and silver. Ask him to come down and set up another mountain. And Chao Gai, who has always been "righteous and squandering money", had to kill the "narrow-minded" and "jealous" life-saving benefactor. Occupy people's land and houses. seized the foundation of other people's land. Legally enjoy the benefactor's inheritance...... (It's like killing Wang Zuo and Yuan Youcai on Jinggang Mountain?) ）

The flower stone class came to an abrupt end. I don't know if there is a robbery of the bully male Chao Gai in this time and space. There is also no champerty litigation. Turn over your hands for the clouds, cover your hands for the rain and pollute Song Jiang. I don't know if those criminals in the Song Jiang refuge area have formed a tight network of underworld in Shandong...... Thinking of it all. Zhao Xingshen felt. This society must be stabilized as soon as possible.

"The matter of supervising the country must be carried out immediately. As for the withdrawal of troops demanded by the imperial court. I can't. I didn't finish my work in Xuzhou. Let's wait until I finish the work in Xuzhou. ”

"What kind of work can I do in Xuzhou?" Far away in Zhending Mansion, Shuai Fan sneered at Zhao Xingdi's hard work: "I heard that your father built a bunker group in Xuzhou. Three thousand watchtowers were built in one go. Fifteen thousand guards were placed. In my opinion. It's a complete drain on your father's mind. He said it himself. There are no firm defenders. No matter how strong the city wall is, it is a smooth road. ”

Shuai Fan is sitting at the head of Zhending City. Crossed Erlang's legs. Holding the rudder. Said triumphantly to Zhao Feng: "I don't want to spend this blind effort!" Look at this real house. No less than the capital. On sturdiness. Comparable to Jingzhao (Xi'an). But did they stop our army? Can they stop our army? Hey. I really want to talk about it. In case of an invasion. And who can it stop? ”

Shuai Fan actually wants to say yes. Truly solid and majestic. Have you ever stopped the Jurchens? Mongol? Manchus?

No! Never.

Zhao Feng was expressionless, and replied sullenly: "Uncle Huang (Huang Luzhi) sent a letter a few days ago, saying that he had notified his father and asked me to return as soon as possible

Shuai Fan smiled and asked: "Your meaning is a fait accompli, we must escort the loot to Jingshi before we can stop." ”

Shuai Fan clapped his hands: "Well said! We are now stationed in Zhending, once we withdraw from the Yellow River, it is a crime of driving as a soldier, and we previously held an edict allowing us to escort the spoils of war into Beijing, so we must enter Beijing this time, only after entering Beijing, and handing over the task to the military department, we can be regarded as completing the edict. In that case, whoever wants to put the hat of mutiny on our heads in the future must first deny His Majesty's edict authorizing the escort of the tribute.

You've finally made a decision, a decision that has the grace of your father—yes, we can't retreat, we must move on! Why don't we leave tomorrow, what do you think? ”

Zhao Feng nodded silently, and said: "Father stopped in Xuzhou, I don't know if he will retreat, Uncle Shuai, I will wait for dozens of days, if you shoot like this, how to explain it?" ”

What Zhao Feng said was: Zhao Xing was in the middle of the road, stranded in Xuzhou in the name of building Xuzhou's defense system, and watched the scenery, and Shuai Fan used what name to explain his stay?

Shuai Fan stood up and looked in the direction of the capital. Sighed: "No need to explain. The ministers of the court all understand what we do, we just need to give them a reason, and they will explain it for us. It's just that your father's actions this time don't know the good or the bad. ”

Zhao Feng replied: "I don't care about my father's safety, but I am also thinking - after this incident, I am afraid that the imperial court will no longer give the two major bureaus the right to send troops." ”

Shuai Fan walked to a flagpole, listening to the north wind blowing the flagpole to the ground, he looked north of Zhending, and said with emotion: "Yes." Last time, your father outflanked the Beijing division in the name of escorting the tribute envoys, and this time, he still used this old strategy, again and again, as soon as the court heard that your father was going to send troops in the future, I am afraid that he would be afraid, I guess that the court will never allow your father to escort the tribute envoys again, it is not good. The court will not let your father send troops again. ”

Zhao Feng pondered silently for a moment, and said softly, "Uncle Shuai." Give the order, let's go to Beijing. ”

In Yangzhou City, Hou Meng listened to Zhao Xing's words, looked at Wang Qinchen in surprise, and asked, "Prison country." What's going on? ”

Wang Qinchen walked to the window and looked out of the window. At this time, Yizhangqing just turned the corner. When Hou Meng saw Wang Qinchen, the god, he immediately explained: "After Song Xing returned to the hospital. will cover it with a Qingluo Xiaojiao, and then come here to visit Zhao Xiang. Lord Wang is interested in seeing it, but he can wait for a while. ”

Wang Qinchen sneered, turned around and explained: "I will wait for the ministers of the court to discuss, at this moment the situation in the court is turbulent, we should set up a clan as a supervisor of the country, in order to prevent any mistakes in the court - King Yan, Yue Xiang, and King Jian are all His Majesty's flesh and blood, we are going to choose one and stand, and we are discussing with Zhao Xiang Xing's proposal to change it to the proposal of the court minister, not to grab the credit, because this move is against the emperor and is a violation of the emperor's taboo, Wang Qinchen said that this proposition is a resolution of the court minister, but it just covers Zhao Xing."

Hou Meng nodded and agreed: "It's ridiculous to act today, this time the ministers of the court have called off the dynasty and finally driven away the traitor Cai Jing, in order to prevent ......, it is a good move to set up a prison state." ”

The words omitted by Hou Meng, everyone present understood that what he wanted to say was "In order to prevent Song Huizong from settling accounts after the autumn, it is necessary to set up a prison state." It's another thing to understand and say it.

This is also the absurdity of Song Huizong's behavior, which provokes the whole world to despise. He came to this point, he didn't complain about others, only complained about the two pillars of Song Huizong, Zhao Xing held the military power, and he took down Cai Jing with his hands, the ruling foundation of Song Huizong no longer existed, and the establishment of a prison country was just an extra layer of insurance. The situation is not generally good, Nanyang succumbed, the Jin people are afraid, in the future, the Liao State and the Jin people are evenly matched, they will continue to fight for a long time, and we are just seeking Youyan step by step, now, the only variable is the official family, we must firmly grasp the situation in the court, Zhong Zhi (Wang Qinchen words), you tell the ministers of the DPRK what I mean, just say that in order to prevent accidents, our Jiangxi faction would rather make some more concessions, but also to maintain the balance of the government and government. ”

Wang Qinchen smiled and corrected: "Zhao Xiang is still talking about the Southern Party and the Jiangxi School, this name is outdated, this court battle, we have united the Guan Party, the Luo Party, and Xie Lin of the Two Lakes, the people have spanned the north and the south, and the school covers all the former Guangnan degraded officials, so some Guan Party personnel think that it should no longer be called the Southern Party, or what Zhejiang Party."

Or there is a proposal to simply call it the Su Party - anyway, the people who join are admirers of Su Bachelors, or their disciples. I think it's a fitting name. ”

Zhao Xing closed his eyes, and after a long time, he opened his eyes and replied, "It's okay!" Now that the New Party, led by Zhang Shangying, has gradually departed from Wang Anshi's ideas, we cannot call it a new party at all, but a radical party. And Han Zhongyandi's old party is completely different from the past, they tend to be conservative and steady, and they can be called the Conservative Party, and we are a group of conciliators who take the road of moderation, and it is very appropriate to call it the Soviet Party, the Center Party, and the Mean Party......

Zhongzhi, you go back and tell Zhang Shang that I agree with Han Zhongyan's proposition and completely depose Wang Anshidi's proposition, but I don't agree with Han Zhongyan's idea of pursuing Wang Anshi's descendants, depriving his descendants of their grace, or digging up Wang Anshi's grave.

Although Wang Anshi's disciples like to use this trick to deal with the opposition, they are beasts, we are not beasts, we are gentlemen. Death is greater. Now that Wang Jinggong has passed away. He mourns behind him, so don't be harsh, based on His Majesty's reward from Zhezong, that's the end of it! The Manchu dynasty is waiting for us to decide, and it is pointless to argue about what title a dead man should enjoy after his death. ”

Wang Qinchen sighed, Hou Meng also sighed, and said: "Zhao is so generous to Wang Jinggong, I don't know if anyone will dig up the grave and dig the monument for us after we wait!" …… To avoid being scolded behind you. It's best not to let Wang Anshi's disciples climb up again. ”

In ancient times, it was extremely impolite to call people with their names and surnames, and it was a kind of contempt for subordinates to call their superiors by their names, Zhao Xing rarely called Wang Anshi's name, and Hou Meng named his surname here, which meant that he could not tolerate Wang Anshi's disciples.

The sound of the stairs interrupted the conversation between the three men, and Hou Meng stood up and prepared to go out to greet him. Wang Qinchen smoothly passed the folding fan from Zhao Xing's hand and opened it suddenly. smiled and asked, "Is it Yizhang Qing Song Xing?" ”

Hou Meng replied while going downstairs: "The time is not right, Yizhangqing still has to freshen up when she returns to the building, and she can only go out when there are few people, this time, it won't be her shaking her head."

Wang Qinchen shook the small fan lightly and said, "It won't be from the capital." Manjing heard that I was going to see Zhao Laohu, so I dared to come. ”

Zhao Xing said contemplatively: "Or the person who reported the news from Hangzhou." When I came, the Third Fleet of the Nanyang Affairs Bureau went to Nanyang again. Perhaps they sent back the battle situation. It's just that...... This is not the right time! ”

Leaning slightly, Hou Meng hurriedly returned and reported: "Beijing Division Urgent Report: Tubo Zhao Huaide and others rebelled against the Song Dynasty, the Jishi Army fell, and the Shaanxi Army was overwhelmed, with more than 30,000 casualties. It is reported that the Tangut people are also preparing to move. The Liao people came to Tianjin and demanded that we pay Tianjin's taxes for this year in advance. ”

"What an eventful season!" Wang Qinchen sighed faintly: "Why did this troublesome thing increase sharply when you were worried about the sky? ”

"How can it be!" Zhao Xing took the case: "Zhao Laohu of the Great Song Dynasty is not dead yet, how dare Liao dare to bully me?" ”

Wang Qinchen was very satisfied with Zhao Xing's words, because in this sentence, Zhao Xing still regarded himself as Song Chen.

Hou Meng was also very satisfied with this sentence, and he praised it: "That's right, my Great Song soldiers are strong and strong, and besides, Lord Taiwei has been searching for many years, and he can't find an excuse to start a war with the Liao, but this time the Liao people have sent the handle to us." ”

Zhao Xing immediately pointed at Wang Qinchen: "Zhongzhi, you go back to the capital and tell the imperial court: the more at this time, the more you can't show weakness, Shaanxi, I believe that Zeng Bu will not be completely defenseless, with his skills, even after Zeng Xiang's death, he left three months."

Three months later, we can send troops from Dali, we can send troops from Sichuan, we can send troops from Qinfeng Road, the small country of Tibet, dare to easily provoke the Great Song Dynasty, I think it doesn't want to live, this land of the Great Song Dynasty, the people of the Great Song Dynasty, do you want to come, do you want to commit it? ”

Wang Qinchen hurriedly asked: "Why will you go on the expedition?" ”

Wang Qinchen's question is particular: At a time when state affairs are in turmoil, the Tanguts, Tibetans, and Liaos come together to take advantage of the fire to loot, and which party serves as the general of the expedition will stand at the highest moral point.

In the original history, this war was a famous battle between Tong Guan and Gao Yu, and they together with Liu Zhongcun, the general of the border pass, cleanly recaptured the Jishi Army and rebelled against the Tubo prince (the prince of the small clan, equivalent to the head of a village in the Great Song Dynasty. In order to boast of his military exploits, the imperial court impersonated him as a prince).

Now, history has changed so badly that at a time when party strife is becoming more and more intense, sending troops to fight is a difficult thing for all parties, because although the rival parties may not succeed enough, they will more than defeat enough. For example, Shaanxi has always been Zhao Xing's sphere of influence, he migrated a large number of wealthy people from Shaanxi every year, and established close relations with the people of Shaanxi through the fruit industry association, so if the generals of other parties wanted to march from Shaanxi, they could not help but worry that Zhao Xing would manipulate the logistics supply.

In other words, no one can fight for this war except Zhao Xing.

But unfortunately, Zhao Xing's generals are easy to obtain by thousands of troops, but it is difficult to find a general.

Wang Qinchen asked, "For example, ......?" ”

Zhang Lei interjected: "No example! I know what you want to say is: I hope that the imperial court will reduce or exempt the future taxes of the Nanyang Affairs Bureau, because these funds come from the people of the Nanyang Affairs Bureau, and the imperial court has taken them in advance, and there is no explanation, which is equivalent to double taxation of the Nanyang Affairs Bureau......

Having said that, but now the Nanyang Affairs Bureau is where the imperial court's wealth is located, and the Nanyang Affairs Bureau is exempted from taxes, and the imperial court cannot afford it, and the imperial court is short of money and has no ability. ”

Zhao Xing immediately answered: "Then sell the land - my Nanyang Affairs Bureau has conquered the east and the west, and laid down a large piece of land overseas, and now the land sold by the imperial court is only a small part, I heard that the official family originally planned to seal the king overseas and implement feudalism." Therefore, he gave a lot of land to the vassal kings. Now that the country is in trouble, we can't just let the people bear it, but the clan should also bear some of it, and I want each of them to have one-third of the land in their hands, so that they can subsidize the taxes of Quang Nam by selling these lands. ”

Zhang Lei patted his stomach: "When you get the meat in the bowl, how can you spit it out again - you don't have to think about the matter of recovering the fiefdom, the court would rather return the money to you than move the idea of the vassal king." Why. Now the clan can't be chaotic.

However, you often say that the overseas fields are big and there is no remaining land at hand, so if you go to fight, the court can agree to you not to accept the land for three expeditions. But each time the loot was handed in as usual. What do you think? (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen later, such as **., more chapters, support.)
